opkbuild 4.1.2 released 
About
=====

opkbuild is a distribution build system -- a set of tools for building
software packages.  From source packages it builds binary packages for
use with the opkg package manager.

Currently one format of source package is supported by opkbuild:
ProteanOS Source Package Format 2.0:

    http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/

opkbuild is similar in function to the development library and utilities
of dpkg, the Debian package manager:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/dpkg-dev
    https://packages.debian.org/sid/libdpkg-perl
    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/

NEWS for Version 4.1.2
======================

Utilities:

  * ob-gencontrol now actually populates the source package field
    "Binary" added in version 4.1.0.
  * opkbuild now supports commands with arguments as arguments to the
    "-r" option, for example "-r 'env -i fakeroot'".

libopkbuild:

  * Binary package parameters are stored internally now with fewer
    conflicts.  Specifically, binary package names such as
    "libncurses.6" and "libncurses++.6" no longer conflict, because the
    non-alphanumeric parts of the names are different lengths.
  * An unbound variable that could cause ob_get_binary_parameter() to
    fail has been fixed.  The utilities called ob_get_binary_parameter()
    after setting a variable of the same name, so the bug went
    unnoticed.
  * ob_get_binary_parameter() is now covered by the test suite.

Build system:

  * configure now checks the shell for support for the "local" keyword
    and 64-bit arithmetic.
